You can’t just go up to a camel and take her milk, okay? You have to ask her nicely so that she’ll trust you.
My name is Yasmin, and I am a camel farmer here on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. I wasn’t always a camel farmer though.
So we watched all these people go under in the drought. Camels being drought animals, you know, why don’t we co-graze with camels?
And we started QCamel and we just fell in love with them.
TikTok was just this really beautiful way that I could put my love of camels and performing and educating together. It’s nice to know that people are learning as well as just laughing along at the same time.
UPSOT: I thought this would be a really good way to talk to you but it’s very distracting.
On our tours we ask people, “who’s here because they saw the camels on TikTok?”
We’re just seeing this amazing demand for not just the tourism but the products as well.
We’ve had to actually go out and get more camels.
I just wanted to have a bit of fun, show people what I did, and then it just kind of went kaboom very, very quickly.
